In their own words
Captions
Captions is an AI video platform for creating and editing videos from footage or prompts. AI Edit can apply cuts, captions, music, and formatting to uploaded material. The service offers automatic transcription, more than 100 caption styles, and translation into over 100 languages. Users can dub videos into more than 30 languages with a cloned version of their voice. Prompt to Video creates talking-head videos from scripts using built-in actors or an AI Twin. The platform is aimed at creators, marketers, and developers making materials such as ads, listing videos, and podcast clips. Its Mirage API generates content from scripts, image references, or actor IDs and uses credit-based billing. The free plan costs nothing and includes no AI usage credits, one caption template, and basic editing tools. Max costs $24.99 a month and includes 500 monthly credits; Frontier plans provide higher credit allowances. Unused credits can roll over for up to two extra months, capped at three times the monthly allowance. Captions is available on Android, iOS, and web, with an API offering.
Vizard
Vizard turns long-form videos into short clips for social channels. Its AI finds engaging moments, cuts clips, and reframes subjects for vertical video. The editor includes text-based trimming, timeline editing, aspect-ratio changes, caption translation, brand templates, and link sharing. Vizard says captions can be translated into more than 100 languages. Users can connect TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and Facebook Pages for publishing. The free plan costs nothing and includes 60 monthly credits, one social account, uploads up to 60 minutes and 1GB, exports up to 720p and 10 minutes, and three-day storage. Vizard is listed for Android, web, and API, but API access is for paid users and API submissions consume video upload minutes. API documentation lists limits of 600 minutes per video, 10GB, and 4K resolution. Vizard says videos are stored on AWS servers in California with AES-256 encryption, and customer data is not used to train its models.
